{"product_id":"tumblr-katrin-tiidenberg-9781509541089","title":"Tumblr","description":"\u003cp\u003eLaunched in 2007, tumblr became a safe haven for LGBT youth, social justice movements, and a counseling station for mental health issues. For a decade, this micro-blogging platform had more users than either Twitter or Snapchat, but it remained an obscure subculture for nonusers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKatrin Tiidenberg, Natalie Ann Hendry, and Crystal Abidin offer the first systematic guide to tumblr and its crucial role in shaping internet culture. Drawing on a decade of qualitative data, they trace the prominent social media practices of creativity, curation, and community-making, and reveal tumblr's cultlike appeal and position in the social media ecosystem. The book demonstrates how diverse cultures can - in felt and imagined silos - coexist on a single platform and how destructive recent trends in platform governance are. The concept of \"silosociality\" is introduced to critically re-think social media, interrogate what kinds of sociality it affords, and what (unintended) consequences arise.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is an essential resource for students and scholars of media and communication, as well as anyone interested in an influential but overlooked platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katrin Tiidenberg, Natalie Ann Hendry, Crystal Abidin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 150954108X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509541089\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.35h x 5.83w x 1.02d","brand":"Katrin Tiidenberg","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43982588772607,"sku":"9781509541089","price":64.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_19edd35c-d312-4013-b81e-92ac63b04a20.jpg?v=1683262006","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tumblr-katrin-tiidenberg-9781509541089","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
